Hello everyone,
I am glad to see you here in the last day of 2017. I would say "HAPPY NEW YEAR" at first.
An opportunity I heard a lovely song and want to try it. But I don't know what is the song.
Please listen a short recording and tell me who is the composer. Thank you very much~

It has crossed my mind to buy Einaudi's compilation "I Giorni" and to learn a few pieces for my piano club (please see post dated 30 Dec 17). However I am aware that his music divides opinion and I wonder if I would quickly tire of it before having chance to properly learn it.

Re Einaudi, it depends on how long you intend to study it for; a week or so would be fine but any longer than that and I think you might tire of it. I shouldn't project my prejudices really - but to me it seems like 'I Like This Chord And I'm Going To Play it For Half An Hour'!

I have been playing through I Giorni for a couple of days now without trying to analyse it. It is one of my short comings that I tend not to think about chord structure but I am slowly realising that I should be because it can make playing a piece easier and if it gets complicated you can busk. I Giorni doesn't get complicated and hopefully it won't be taxing to learn sufficiently well for the concert in a couple of weeks time. So far I am in the "quite like it" camp at the moment but your take on this piece did however make me smile.

I will be seeing my teacher next week so I need to discuss with her getting back into the more serious stuff; perhaps some Bach inventions. Teacher actually introduced me to Einaudi some time ago when I borrowed one of her books for a week. She reckons her younger piano students enjoy playing it.
